Meanwhile, the Tour Performance Lab at Northview in Vancouver came from behind to claim the inaugural Junior Ryder Cup, co-hosted by Spall and Salmon Arm’s Canoe Creek Golf Course.
The event was played Monday at Spall and Tuesday at Canoe Creek, with each 10-person team counting its top-six net scores. Also competing were an Okanagan team and the Fusion team from Canyon Meadows in Calgary.
After Day 1, The Okanagan crew held a slim one-shot lead over the Lab, led by Michael Lenoury’s net 64, Dexter Wheaton’s net 67 and Brayden Cooper’s net 68.
On Day 2, Performance Lab had three kids shoot personal bests, with Morgan Benko carding a net 61 to lead the Vancouver gang to victory.
“This was a great event to have junior golfers meet each other, have fun, play golf and make friendships that will last a lifetime,” said Jesse Crowe, head pro at Canoe Creek.
“Myles (Johnson, Spall pro) did a great job getting the team together for the Okanagan. It was great to get two of the top junior girls in the valley involved – Mackenzie Barrie (Vernon Golf) and Jessica Claggett (Two Eagles Golf Course an Academy) – with some of the younger boys so they see how good they can get over time.”
